Welcome to my vacation page. As most of you know My best friend Julie
and I just went to New York City and South Carolina this past summer
(1999). Many of you wanted to see pictures and stories from our trip. So
I designed this page just for that occasion. I hope you stick around and
admire the page, and thanks to those who donated money for our trip, It
was well appreciated. Just Click on the Pics to see larger size.
TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY
We
arrived at Pittsburgh Airport on Monday June 8th, 1999. I was very
nervous, I had never flown before, but Julie tried her best to calm me
down. This was my first time on a airplane, and I am afraid of heights.
This is a pic of the plane we was on, and the other pics are taken
through the plane window. The pic include clouds and overlooking New
York City as we were coming in for a landing. I ended up loving the
plane ride, but Julie on the other hand didn't care to much for it. I
think I was meant to travel!!!
Once we landed in New York, we called the Carmel Car Service to come get
us. I think our driver was named Habib (LOL) We couldn't understand him
to well. He asked where we was going and If we knew anyone from India?
hahaha. I thought we was going to die in the car. He was a wild ride.
But we finally made it to the Mayfair Hotel, which is next door to the
Eugene O'Neill theater, which was playing the Broadway Play "Death Of
A Salesman". Here is the front of the Motel and a pic of the theater
and me in our room before going to the Iceman Cometh play.
We settled into the motel that night and got a nice rest before heading
out into the big city the next morning. We first walked many blocks to
get to the Circleline cruise. It's a three hour boat tour that takes you
completely around New York City. We seen all-3 rivers, 7 major bridges,
5 boroughs, over 25 world renowned landmarks and a close-up of the
Statue of Liberty, Grants Tomb, Yankee stadium, The Little Red
Lighthouse Under The Bridge, Ellis Island, The Twin Towers, The United
Nations, Wallstreet, and much much more. I guess we went on one of the
hottest days of the year, because we ended up with a horrible sunburn.
OUCH! Pics are of our cruise boat, Statue of Liberty, Twin Towers, Ellis
Island, Wallstreet, The Brooklyn Bridge, A boat that was in all of the
Wars and Yankee Stadium. Julie and I are finally in New York.
